Multimedia Artist At Your Service

Mabuhay! I am Arielle B Cruz, an independent multimedia artist from Pasig City, the Philippines. I have been freelancing since 2005 after leaving an Information Technology company that specialises in web and mobile business applications development.

While I was in that company, I was exposed to a lot of technologies that include Flash/ActionScript programming, PHP, and MySQL. These extended my existing expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, all-around graphic design using a variety of computer applications and traditional methods, and non-linear video editing.

At present, I am improving my fluency in the Python programming language by using it in my web applications and in the Blender Game Engine. When time permits, I also create demonstration videos of my products and post them to YouTube.

I am a proud— although, not quite active— member of the Philippine Web Accessibility Group (PWAG) and the Ubuntu Philippines Local Community. I also advocate the use and distribution of Free Open Source Software.

About This Website

This website contains information about my work as an independent artist. It also contains a weblog of sorts.

In this section of the site, there is a Technical Information page, where you will find information about how this site was constructed, what features it currently supports, and which bugs may appear in which browser. There is also a Third-Party Credits page where you will find references to other artists, programmers, and groups whose works are instrumental to the existence of this website.

Services Overview

I offer three basic services: web design, development, and maintenance for helping you reach people through the World Wide Web; graphic design for screen and print for helping you and your listeners in your speaking engagements; and multimedia presentation development and assembly for helping you and your friends to preserve significant memories. All of these services are available at affordable rates and guaranteed on-time delivery.

Clientele Overview

Since 2005, I've had the opportunity to work with people from different fields: academics, cause-oriented groups, entrepreneurs, government agencies, media and marketing outfits, and other information technology professionals.

My experiences working with these people are mostly positive and I am confident that I have earned their trust since many of them retain my services, return to me for new projects, and recommend me to their friends.

Projects Overview

In my spare time, I try to expand my current skill set by studying other people's work. These studies result in the creation of new applications— like SaWALi, which is responsible for bringing you this website. I release these new applications under a permissive, copyleft license so that I can also be of service to other self-studying people.
